Whose (used to show possession and can be used for both people and things)

ऐसे सर्वनाम जो सबंध का बोध कराते हो उसे Relative pronouns (संबंधवाचक सर्वनाम) कहते हैं। जैसे -

The man is standing there. That man is my brother (आदमी खड़ा है। वह आदमी मेरा भाई है।)

The man who is standing there is my brother. (जो आदमी खड़ा है मेरा भाई है।)

दोनों ही वाक्यों का अर्थ एक ही है पर दूसरे वाक्य में Relative pronoun (who) का प्रयोग किया गया है।

वाक्य में पहले से उपयोग किये गये संज्ञा की ओर संकेत करते समय जब किसी सर्वनाम को ऐसे प्रयोग किया जाए जिससे कि उस संज्ञा और उस सर्वनाम के बीच एक रिश्ता स्थापित हो तब उस सर्वनाम को Relative Pronoun (सम्बन्धवाचक सर्वनाम) कहते हैं। Relative pronouns are used to indicate a noun that has already been used and to establish a relation with that noun.

Relative pronoun is a pronoun which joins relative clauses and relative sentences.
